Just Started My period~(13)~How do I tell my mom?

Question

I just started my preiod today and I dont know how to tell my mom. I also dont know how to tell her I want to pick out a brand of pads and that i dont wanna use the ones she does cuz they are HUGE I had to cut it to make it smaller.

How do I talk to her about it without feeling embarressed and any advice on how to handle it at school and what it the best type of pad to use (that is small cuz im only 13)

LOL

Thanks soo soo much!!!

Answer 1

hey. i'm 13 and i was 12 when i started mine and the next day me and my mom were at the drugstore and i said 'mom i need pads!' and she looks at me and takes me over to the pads and tampons... and thats how i told my mom.

well i use Always ultra thin... and i hope this helps you :)

Answer 2

ok first of all leave her a note or send her a text and say i need to talk to you in private, get her in your room alone and just tell her you got it, then just tell her can i pick out the type of pads i want because yours are too big. the best kind for your first one would be the always light ones with wings, the wings help it stay in place, if you want you can get some regular ones too

Say mom, I started my peroid.
